The CPU we are using is the Intel Core i7-3960X LGA2011 processor. We will test with two configurations: Stock and
Overclocked. Both will have Hyper Threading and Turbo modes enabled. For
the backbone of the system we have the Intel DX79SI motherboard. We
have also outfitted it with a 16GB (4x4gb) kit of Corsair Vengeance LP DDR3 1600MHz RAM. Drivers used for the motherboard are as follows:

To test the coolers the system will be left idle at the desktop for
30 minutes and the temperature will be recorded. Then it will run at
full load with Prime95 Blended test for 30 minutes and the temperature
will be recorded. There will be 2 levels tested with our Core i7-3960X
clocked at stock settings with Turbo and Hyper Threading on, and a high
OC of 4.5 GHz also with Hyper Threading and Turbo enabled. All temps
will be recorded with CoreTemp, and the temp reading from all 6 cores
will be averaged. The thermal paste used on all coolers will be Gelid GC
Extreme.
